At seventeen I made seventeen thousand living in public housing
Integrity intact, repping hard
They asking how he disappear and reappear back on top
Saying Nas must have naked pictures of God or something
To keep winning is my way like Francis
As long as I'm breathing, I'll take chances
A soldier comin' home, twenty years old with no legs
Sayin' there's no sense to cry and complain, just go head
So much to write and say, yo I don't know where to start
So I'll begin with the basics and flow from the heart
I know you think my life is good cause my diamond piece
But my life been good since I started finding peace
I shouldn't even be smiling, I should be angry and depressed
I been rich longer than I been broke, I confess
I started out broke, got rich, lost paper then made it back
Like oneterm being up down up, play with cash

I personally recorded this too....I have all the Stillmatic hot 97 interviews that he did on tape
Bruh I swear Nas was so hilarious in those interviews back in the day. He had Jay so flusteredI actually remember this interview Nas at that time
. The crazy thing is fans are still flustered to this day 
Oh, he is a member? I suscribed to his youtube last week
Lmao, I thought people found this already earlier in this thread...yeah we need more jungle stories...both jungle and nas have storytelling abilities...jungle can be captivating with his words without rhyming, as he is on multiple interviews. that video never gets old and has mad replay value.
I put these on my other channel and people still find them, lmao...I actually found that clip off a dead youtube channel with no traction and I'm just archiving it...there's so many channels that had Nas stuff from back in the days but got terminated by youtube because of flimsy reasons...I had the chance to grab them when I saw them, including ALL OF ARSENIO HALL'S VIDEOS the 2nd time he show relaunched in 2013 before his show was terminated a year later (because Arsenio was using his platform to crowdfund buying the Clippers from Donald Sterling at the time, and it was working because b/millionaires got involved). It's a catch 22 because CBS or whoever would come after me for reposting all his shyt again on youtube, but when arsenio hall's show and his youtube channel really got terminated by its producers/networks, people who had bootleg arsenio rips became the place for people to revisit that show.
I really had a hindsight moment because I should have grabbed those videos when I had the chance -- Nas had a full interview with Arsenio sitting on the couch in 2013 and nobody has a copy of it....there's a video of Nas performing on Arsenio but there's no FULL Nas interview. Ever since people cut their TV cable cords and radio began phasing out, there's still good video production around Nas' stuff that are syndicated on streaming services and I grab them from there and check IMDB for when Nas has credits featured as an actor or just himself.

Bring back Arsenio / Hip-hop was aborted so Nas breathes life, back into the embryo - Queens Get The Money
so many people just know Nas' music and unreleased joints but don't know all the ideas he has via interviews that he hasn't put into song yet. There's plenty of stuff that Nas said in interviews that may be a concept vaulted songs or those ideas never made it into song that people barely address.
I personally recorded this too....I have all the Stillmatic hot 97 interviews that he did on tape
word, what do you have that i missed? post them, lmao
my main channel has random videos that you guys quote all the time on various threads, lmao, but as you can see by my channel name, I've been banned by youtube multiple times since google acquired youtube in 2007, hence the #4 and #5 at the end of my channel name.
EDIT: I am currently still trying to find a Prologue/Introduction to a book that Nas wrote and read for an audiobook...I recall having my mind blown to hear Nas' writing and/or voice on an audiobook but given that I been thru a lot of audiobooks (and return them to the library), i can't seem to refind that audiobook for some reason...it's for one of those random obscure books, like "tanning of america" by Steve Stoute or somebody similar that Nas cosigned by writing the intro to that book www.amazon.com/dp/1592407382 ...There was a 5 Part series about the Tanning of America (when the book became a VH1 show) that Nas participated in and I can't find that footage either The Tanning of America (TV Mini-Series 2014– ) - IMDb

That's it.
People forget that Takeover was that vicious, it was kinda over for him, he was in the gutter. 'I Am' didn't have the reception that the last album had.
He was on the floor for the count, somehow got up and Ether resuscitated everything. The public swayed back to Nasir and the rest is history.
